“Even the way (Melbourne City striker Bruno) Fornaroli stood over Zullo, I was actually surprised that they acted that way.

“We don’t want that in our game. We don’t want people diving, and we don’t people injuring someone.’’

Van’t Schip, who mentored Aloisi when City were known as Melbourne Heart, hit back on Friday.

“The most important thing is he’s always having a go at us, and I think he has to worry more about his own team, and not about us … because it’s getting a bit childish — he’s whingeing like a baby,” van’t Schip said.

“He has to stay away from our players, (and stop) criticising them … it’s been enough now. It’s the third time and I think it should be finishing here.”

Aloisi has previously questioned City’s “anti-football” tactics, as well as Fornaroli’s habit of grabbing defenders and falling to win fouls.

Van’t Schip said Aloisi would have been better off acknowledging City for their FFA Cup win.

“Maybe congratulating us (on) the win, the club that gave him the opportunity to be a head coach, but that’s obviously not his style,” van’t Schip said.

“After three times, it’s enough, maybe he learns from it, but otherwise it’s a shame.”
